Balu Mahendra's unfulfilled desire with late Sivaji Ganaessan

The movie was directed by Santhana Bharathi with Kamal Hassan and Suganya in lead. The story portrays the grief of a humble villager, who sees his family, property being ruined and how he manages to find his missing son accompanied by street artists and his daughter (Mahanadi Shobana) under the control of pimps in Kolkatta.

These are old news but the latest we hear about the movie is that ace director Balu Mahendra literally planned to direct this movie featuring late legendary actor Sivaji Ganessan. However the project was shelved and the duo did step out of the project for some differences and finally director Santhana Bharathi took the opportunity to direct the movie.

It is worth to mention H. Sridhar bagged National Award for Best Audiography and the movie received National Award under category best feature film in Tamil.
